Thank you for reading
The air at the hotel was crisp and refreshing, carrying with it the gentle whispers of a soft breeze, and the rooftop landscape was a masterpiece of creativity and tranquility. The sound of water trickling from a nearby fountain soothed the ambiance around, with its gentle melody blending harmoniously with the chirping of birds that perched on branches overhead.Beautiful cripper plants crept down from carefully crafted planters creating a beautiful look of nature, with different kinds of fragrant flowers blooming in a shifting pattern of colors, as their delicate petals danced in harmony with the wind. The vibrant appearance brought life to every corner, and permeated the space with a sense of peace.Dali was sitting comfortably on one of the chairs with her eyes deeply buried in a fashion magazine that she had in her hands, while Ethan seemed engrossed in what he was doing on the tablet he had on his left palm with his right one operating. Though focused, his eyes seemed to subconsci
Ava's facial expression didn't change after she hung up and dropped her phone on the desk, as she continued her work without any form of indifference. She still had quite a lot to do to finish with her quota for the day, so that she would be able to fix up every meeting that had been postponed as the job for a new week. With the turnout of how things had been for the past days in her life, Ava decided to give in to things naturally without any fight because it was best for her insanity. In the past few months, she had struggled with too many panic attacks already. She was losing her mind with so much to handle at work and home, and it was like she lost a part of her tenacity too. Her giving in, included the moment her kids mentioned Ethan again and clamored that they wanted to see him so many times. She called him to come if he was interested in spending time with them, and he came almost ten minutes after with immediate effect. That was the first time she acted without thinking to
Ava was dressed impeccably in a designer tweed dress as she sat in her luxurious office, and across from the table was Cassey, who entered the office and dropped two cups of a chocolate cream frappuccino with four shots of frappuccino roast. "For you. In case you might be working late again today," Cassey said with a smile as she took her seat, and dropped the files that she brought forward on the table. "Thank you so much, Cassey," Ava said with a smile and grabbed from one of the cups, as she took a sip from it, while taking her time to savor the taste and the smell. "You are not talking about the scandal that came up this morning. Don't you want us to do anything about it?" Cassey asked with curiosity, wondering if Ava had not seen the trending news all over the internet since the early hours of the morning. "To be honest, Cassey," Ava paused on her words and gulped more from the coffee, "I really do not even know what to do or say. Denying it is not even necessary. Chan has ret
Anna paced around the large expansive hotel room with anxiety and unrest in her heart, as her hand scratched roughly through her hair tiredly and frustratedly. Her eyes darted around the room looking around for some kind of escape from the overwhelming anxiety that was coursing through her veins. With each passing moment, her pupils dilated as it reflected fear and uncertainty that swirled within her, as more anxiety clawed at her heart, and pushed the weight of some kind of sadness into her chest. Her heart was caught up in different kinds of emotions: anger, guilt, and anxiety. She had checked her phone so many times to see if her mother would even try to call, and she was disappointed each time she picked up a call from a person she was never intending to speak to. Constant frowns crept around the corners of her face at every unsolicited call, which ended up in a pass of aggression from her to whoever it was. It was the first time that her mother didn't reach out to her first t
"Mummy, I am asking you a question. How can I solve these arithmetic figures?" Autumn tapped her mother softly on her lap where she was sitting, trying to show her the problems that she was finding hard to solve in her book. "Hmmnn," Ava answered absentmindedly without looking at her daughter, with her eyes fixed on a space with an intent gaze. She was far gone. "Mum," she called again and again, but no response. "Mummy. This is the fifth time I've called you. You are not answering me," Autumn groaned while tugging against the dress that Ava was wearing so firmly, "Mummy!" She yelled again. "Oh, mine. I am so sorry darling. What do you want me to do for you?" Ava breathed out as she turned to her daughter with apologetic eyes. 'She had spaced out again!'She wiped her lips repeatedly to her face and scratched her hair, as she tried to look through the arithmetic figures that her daughter was trying to show her in the book. "I am sorry baby," she said again and collected the book
It was morning and Ethan was standing inside the library in his house, which had been left unused and untouched for so long even if it was usually clean. The air was heavy with the scent of aged papers, and leather-bound books that had imprinted words of inks that could barely be erased on them. Sunlight streamed through the tall, arched windows up the wall, casting a warm glow on the rows upon rows of bookshelves that lined the walls. The shelves, which were works of art, crafted from rich mahogany with their surfaces polished to a gleaming shine, were reaching towards the high ceiling that seemed endless in a beautiful arrangement. Ethan suddenly seemed interested in searching for some books that he didn't even know where they were, as Jesse watched him from where he was standing without saying a word. He had offered to help the suddenly curious billionaire find what he was looking for, but he politely rejected the offer and continued to look through the unending lists of books.
The air was filled with anticipation as Autumn and Evan eagerly awaited their fifth birthday, so much so that Autumn was almost unable to sleep all night out of excitement till the next day. Ava had been so busy getting every gift she was planning to get for them, coupled with her scheduled meetings for the week, and things had been harder than she thought it would be, even if she had Beatrice to help her with many preparations. On the morning of their birthday when they could finally sleep at dawn, they woke up so late to their disappointment, and ran downstairs in fear that they might have missed the highlights of their birthday because they overslept. However, the day was just starting. The mansion came alive with bustling energy as a team of hired staff worked meticulously on the decoration of the building, where the grand party setup was going to take place for just the family. The splendid ballroom, which housed only a few things that were barely needed because it was not in us
The room was ladened with palpable tension as if the very air had become charged with jolts of electricity, and the uncomfortable silence which was deafening, was occasionally broken only by the sounds of shallow breaths and the nervous shuffle of people's feet. Eyes darted anxiously around the room as they avoided any direct contact with one another, as each person pretended to be lost in their thoughts with furrowed eyebrows and faces that held expressionless emotions. The anticipation that hung in the air pressed down upon Ava, making it so difficult for to breathe properly at the moment. The unexpected turn of events left her feeling confused and unsure of what to do next. 'Maybe she didn't think it well.'A day earlier, she had phoned Jordyn to reveal that her children were having their fifth birthday, after she mentioned her brief trip to Germany for a meeting. The news caught Jordyn off guard as she never expected to hear about becoming a grandmother so soon. Despite the sur

A leap over two years………"Oh my goodness, Ava. I am pregnant! I am carrying a life inside of me!" I cannot believe it. Come fast! I am waiting at the club," Ava read Dali's message with excitement, as she navigated her car dressed in a black sexy gown and heels, ready to party with her friend. "What pregnant woman goes to the club, Dali?" Ava chuckled as she and Dali clicked their glass of wine together, under the glowing lights of the club they were sitting in. "My type of woman!" Dali screamed happily, and chugged down the content of the non-alcoholic wine which she was drinking, "I am becoming a proud Mum," she declared blissfully. "I am so happy for you, darling. Congratulations," Ava pulled her tightly for an embracing hug. "I am so happy, honestly. Even if Lucio said it was fine, I feared that I might not be able to give him a child after many IVFs. I guess the lord still had many blessings for me," Dali expressed happily, beaming with smiles. She was wearing a simple red dre
The air was cool and crisp, carrying with it the earthy scent of damp moss and fallen leaves, while the gentle movement of a nearby stream added a soothing rhythm to nature. Fireflies flew around with their tiny lanterns blinking in the darkness, adding to the light that the moon reflected on the environment, making everywhere look bright. Ava and Ethan sat side by side with their hands intertwined on a fancy mat, and their gazes were fixed upon the horizon where the fading sun painted the sky in shades of pink and orange. The soft breeze tousled through their hair occasionally as a moment of silence passed between them, wordlessly expressing the deep connection they felt in that moment that they were by themselves. She also didn't forget to bring with her a picnic basket which she had put every food delectable in, and spent the entire evening eating, while enjoying the cool sight of nature with Ethan. However, she was tired of not talking. She wanted to complain to him. "Ethan.
Two months had passed by just the fleeting turning of days into weeks, and things had changed more than Ava could have ever imagined. In the best way. Dali was fully out of the hospital already and was only on meds, while sticking with her sweetheart, who refused to leave her side. AVARSON had launched their new collections for a new season, and gained more recognition than ever in global markets. And she was now recognized as the wife of billionaire, Ethan Walton all over the city which increased her popularity. They made a few public appearances after the news about them came out, and it had now become known that they were indeed married to one another. It came as a shock to everyone, and it took the entire media industry by storm because it was too hard to believe. It got even crazier to comprehend when it was confirmed that they had twin children who were five years of age, even if people didn't know more about them, because Ethan had used his affluence to block the media that
Ethan was sitting comfortably on the chair with his fingers interlocked into one another, as he waited patiently for Jace, who was being guarded by the prison guards, to the prison visiting room. He was trying to hold back the anger in him concerning everything that Jace had done to try and hurt his family. As they sat across one another with the close watch of the guards that were outside, Ethan's eyes narrowed as he stared at Jace who looked unremorseful of his actions. As they sat in silence, the room seemed to shrink in on them with the suffocating weight of their emotions "So you wanted to see me," Jace finally broke the silence as he remained flinty-eyed, with his arms neatly folded beneath his chest. "It is so surprising to see how well you can talk after everything that you have done," Ethan remarked with a malicious smirk, trying to make the conversation slow and minimal so that he would not end up doing the evil things he wanted to do by himself to Jace. He was so glad t
"It is so nice to have everyone care for me. I mean, Ethan is literally asking every minute if I'm breathing fine," Dali chuckled from where she was lying, with an IV being passed into her arm and a nasal cannula attached to her nostrils. "He truly cares about you. He bothers every minute," Ava answered. "It is not like I asked for it. I already told you guys to leave me and continue with your business," Dali frowned and rolled her eyes. "Stop it, Dali. Stop taking your health for granted," Ava cautioned her with a heavy voice and sad heart, hating that Dali was taking the fact that she barely survived a big illness with levity. "I am not dying, okay. I want everyone to understand that," Dali rolled her eyes with a serious face, as she stretched her hand to pick the bottle of juice on the table next to her which Ava rushed to pick for her quickly, "I can do this myself too you know," she hissed. She didn't want anyone to help her and act like she was dying. "Please, Dali. Just
As the first rays of dawn moved warily across the skyline and cast a gentle glow upon the peaceful waters, Ava stirred from her sleep as her eyes slowly fluttered awake, while adjusting to the soft, filtered light that peered through the scuttle of the luxurious yacht cabin. With a contented euphoric feeling that erupted within her, she turned her gaze towards the other side of the bed where Ethan was still sleeping in a peaceful repose, with his arm wrapping safely around her. A gentle smile graced her lips as she watched him while her heart swelled with love and gratitude. He looked so utterly peaceful and pretty in his sleep, and she felt so much happiness just by looking at him. As she thought of the wild night that she had with him, shy smiles grazed her lips as she bit them sensually, while trying to live the wondrous feeling he had given her again. It was the first time in her life that she had enjoyed the beautiful feeling, with the same man that she had her first with even i
Ava felt a soft, warm feeling on her cheeks which made her stir awake, as she let out a childish giggle when her eyes opened to realize who it was. Her eyes opened widely with an enamoring smile dancing on her lips, and the next thing she did was pull Ethan's neck closer to her nose. "Oh, Ethan. I love your smell very much," Ava muttered under her breath as she sniffed him tenderly, while feeling the softness of the sheets caressing her skin. Ethan grinned while tongue-tied in happiness because of her words and actions, and how she has been constantly taking him by surprise with her overt display of affection. His head went blank for a few seconds about what he was about to say, as she continued to gaze into him so intensely with passion dancing in her eyes. "You make it difficult to act normally around you," Ethan breathed gently as he sucked in his breath, and began to cradle her face gently with his hand playing along. His fingers traced the contours of her cheeks down to her ne
The faint beeping of machines filled her ears together with the distant hum of conversation and footsteps echoing down the corridor, as her eyes struggled to part open and recognize where she was. The light of the hospital room pierced through her hazy vision which caused her to squint, as a dull ache throbbed in her head when she finally adjusted to her surroundings. "Babe. You are awake. Oh my God. You are awake," Dali cried as soon as she watched Ava's eyelids flutter open to the consciousness of her surroundings. "Is that you, Dali?" Ava asked as soon as she realized where she was, and was taken aback when Dali suddenly hovered over her and hugged her so tightly on the bed. "I thought you were never going to wake up again," she cried as she sniffed, still not letting go of Ava, who thought her neck was going to snap if Dali kept hugging her longer than one minute, "I missed you a lot," she sniffed again and wiped her tears, as she finally let go of Ava. Ava heaved a sigh of re
